Smooth landing or rough?: It doesn't matter; we're ready

We have just completed our tenth annual editorial advisory board meeting, held in Stresa, Italy, which was attended by more than 20 LPs and other capital-sourcing firms, including consultants and fund-of-fund investors, and which included some incredibly frank and open dialogue with nearly 20 fund managers.

Emission tests: Can Chinese outbound capital keep clear of the pollution from short-term domestic economic uncertainty?

Over recent years, Chinese capital has been the engine of European real estate investment, but are we now at a turning point in the investment cycle? With all of the recent press speculation about the long-term health of the Chinese economy, the spotlight will inevitably turn to whether Chinese capital, which for the past five years or so has been the engine of the investment market, is starting to dry up and whether the fuel for this engine can be as readily available as it has in the past.

In the past few months, the country’s image of stability has fractured because of a combination of financial missteps and economic underperformance. Meanwhile, US real estate investors have been watching things unfold safely outside the impact zone of this economic malaise, treating it primarily as a peripheral issue. In all likelihood, that is the right approach — but what if it’s not?

A sheltered spot?

As summer draws to a close and we return to our desks, it is at this point in the year that we remark on what has and what hasn’t changed, realise just how much we still have to complete and brace ourselves for the shift in seasons.
